IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE IS RATHER WIDESPREAD. I INITIALLY BELIEVED THAT SOMETHING HAD SIMPLY BROKEN, BUT AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH I AM NOT ALONE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR

ON 4/5/2010 I PURCHASED A USED 2005 JEEP WRANGLER. I DROVE IT FROM IL TO PA. DURING THAT DRIVE I NEEDED TO GET GAS 3 TIMES. EACH TIME I FILLED THE GAS THE TANK OVERFILLED AND FUEL WAS SPILLED. I WENT ONLINE TODAY TO CHECK ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND MANY OTHERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2005 JEEP WRANGLER LJ/TJ RUBICON UNLIMITED WHEN FILLING UP WITH GASOLINE THE TANK OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE VEHICLE SPRAYING ONTO THE OPERARTOR OF THE GAS PUMP AND FLOODING THE IMMEDIATE AREA AND ON THE GROUND. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE OPERATOR OF THE PUMP IS COVERED IN GAS AND FUMES THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND DAMAGE TO THE SKIN AND EYES; IN WORSE CASE SCENARIO AN EXPLOSION IF A CELL PHONE IS IN ONES POCKET OR NEARBY. PLEASE RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY; IT HAPPENS TO ALMOST EVERY JEEP WRANGLER AND EVENTUALLY WILL EFFECT ALL. THIS IS NOT FROM TOPPING OFF OR USING A HIGH PRESSURE GAS NOZZLE OR ONE GAS STATION. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHERE I AM AND IF I DON'T TIME IF CORRECTLY GASOLINE WILL BE ALL OVER THE PLACE. ALTHOUGH NOT SERIOUS, AT ONE TIME GASOLINE DID SPRAY ENOUGH ON A WINDY DAY TO HIT ME IN THE EYE CAUSING A BURNING SENSATION AND REDNESS OBVIOUSLY I COULD NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. IF A YOUNG CHILD IS NEAR BY THIS WOULD BE A SERIOUS ISSUE.
